Property description

Entering the apartment on the ground floor, a short flight of stairs takes you up to a long and wide landing with doors to all rooms and two built-in full height cupboards.

The apartment has a logical layout, large windows and good room sizes throughout with a spacious 737 square feet of space inside. The living room and main bedroom are particularly large, and both have fantastic natural light and leafy views thanks to large bay windows.

The living room is at the front of the property and has a traditional feel with ceiling cornicing and an attractive original cast-iron fireplace with an ornate tiled surround. Measuring 15’2” by 12’7” there’s ample space for sofas, a dining table, and a workspace if required.

The adjacent main bedroom has a rear bay window with garden views. This measures 16’5” by 11’7” so can easily accommodate a kingsize bed and bedroom furniture. The second bedroom, which measures 11’4” by 7’3”, is at the front of the apartment and has a charming triangular bay window characteristic of properties of this vintage.

The bathroom, WC, and kitchen lie beyond the main bedroom The bathroom is a lovely light room with a fitted bath (with a shower above) and a washbasin console. The separate WC is located conveniently next door. Both have windows.

A couple of steps lead down to the well-equipped kitchen which is fitted with wraparound wall and floor cabinets that house a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances and provide a lot of storage and worktop space. A window above the sink with garden views makes this a really pleasant place for preparing food or and even for doing the washing up!

The apartment has classic décor with a predominantly white and pale neutral décor emphasises the sense of light and space, and the natural wood mantelpiece and panelled doors add character and warmth. The fixtures and fittings are contemporary, there’s gas central heating, and the apartment is mainly carpeted.

Outside, the property is set back behind a shared paved front garden with off street parking for two cars and to the rear there’s a sunny south-facing garden which is accessed via a separate pathway. This is overgrown but has lots of potential to be a fabulous outdoor space. For the avoidance of any doubt there isn’t direct access from the property to the section of garden.
